    CS> I think I may have found a bug but wanted to ask you just in case   
    CS> there's a reason why I see what I see and I didn't realise.   
    CS>   
    CS> I open two connections to my BBS, via SSH and I'm on node#1, via TELNET   
    CS> and I'm on node#2.   
    CS>   
    CS> On node#1 my time left says 9718 mins   
    CS> On node#2 my time left says 9972 mins   
      
   I think this might be more of a side effect of how the time system works, not a   
   bug.  In 1995 or so I had no consideration that there would be the same user   
   logged into multiple nodes at the same time, so each node's time left operates   
   independant of the other one.   
      
   For example: If you log into node 1 with 9000 minutes and wait 10 minutes,   
   you'll have 8990 minutes left node 1.  But that time left information isnt   
   saved to the user database until you log off or run an external program.  If   
   you then log into node 2 while you're still on node 1, that node will start   
   again with 9000 minutes because the data was never saved.  Now you'll have 8990   
   on node 1 and 9000 on node 2.   
      
   A similar thing happens when you log off or run a door.  If you log off on node   
   1 with 8990 minutes left it will be saved.  But then if you log off right after   
   that on node 2 with 9000 minutes left, that will be saved and it will overwrite   
   the 8990.   
      
   Hope that helps explain.  If you think its not that and something else is   
   happening let me know.   
      
    CS> By default I give the sysop just 9999 mins per day which I know is   
    CS> insane as there's only 1440 mins in a day, but 9999 feels "l33t" lol.   
      
   You can also turn off the time per day system entirely if you really wanted to   
   but I don't know how that factors into the l33t feels! lol :)   
      
   ... Live every day as though it were your last. One day, you'll be right
